It could be as simple as a <inbrowser> tag that Fossil treats the same as
<verbatim> with the addition of wrapping the raw wiki content with a <div
class="rawWiki"> or similar.

Maybe Joe's new feature can help with this. Did not have a chance to look
at it as my field trip got extended.

While some JS would be needed, I think the foundation could be fairly
simple: Find the div then feed its content to the user's chosen renderer.

The main potential complication being that the contained wiki mark-up might
confuse the browser's HTML parser. But, I would think that a mark-up that
has a browser-based renderer (JS, Java or other) would already address this
issue.
